Notes

The pattern calls for sport, but I’m using fingering, and my fingering is light enough that I felt I needed to go down to a US4 for a nice fabric. I will be repeating Chart E an extra time to make a larger shawl.

On the pick-up row of the transition, I divide it into two actions. First I pick-up the loops along the sides of the Upper Triangle while counting, and placing any markers. Then I do the YO, k1 across without having to keep count.

Chart D
Adds repeats on row 7.
Watch for row 8. It is knit.
Watch for the M1s near the center of row 9.

Chart E repeatable
Adds repeats on rows 1 and 7.
Watch for row 8. It is knit.
Watch for the M1s near the center of rows 1 and 9.

After knitting through row 8 the second time, I did some quick and dirty math that tells me I should have plenty of yarn for a third repeat of Chart E.

Chart F
The BO.
This was slow going, as it is mostly bound off in purl.
